    I rolled through today to get something quick since I had time to kill while my daughter was at cheer. Glad I stopped in. The person taking my order was very pleasant and the young lady who brought it out was kind and thorough. She confirmed my order verbally to make sure everything was what I ordered, and asked if there was anything else I needed before going back. I start to dig I to the bag and notice the burger is wrapped perfectly, not rushed through or tossed in the bag either. The fries were perfectly upright, hot and crisp. The burger itself was prepared with the same care. It wasn’t some pile called a burger and some big mess just wrapped up. You can tell someone took just a few extra seconds to actually construct and place everything evenly. It sounds silly that something so small can be so important but as most have noticed, things aren’t what they used to be and many of us are used to sloppy presentation and services these days. Today was absolutely not the case and I had to let y’all know to please keep it up. Thanks!

    Honestly disappointed with Sonic lately. The food is fine, but nothing special—just basic fast-food items. What is surprising is the price. A simple meal for a family of four ended up costing nearly $60, and that’s just ridiculous for burgers, tots, and drinks. For that price, I could’ve gone to a sit-down restaurant and gotten better portions and better quality. Sonic used to be a fun, quick stop, but at this point the value just isn’t there. Until they adjust their prices, I don’t see us coming back often.

    Always a good stop for food just might have to deal with a few young knuckleheads while waiting to get your food but it's always a good time
